Abilene Debates Grange Argument on Tax Policy
The Abilene Reflector weighs rival views from the Gazette of Abilene and the Anti-Monopolist of Enterprise on Henry George style tax plans. It argues George would tax land, destroy land values, disrupt government funding, and provoke urban collapse, while Grover’s freedom doctrine would burden labor with taxation and threaten stability.

How the New Temperance Law Works

It cites many applications for whisky for medicinal use, questions fraud risk by druggists, estimates county sales, and notes Probate Judges’ support despite perceived exploitation of the law.
